SUNDAY HUNT

Sunday morning I tried a new area - a ball field behind a school that is now a senior citizen home.  The school was built back in the 20's so I was hoping for some nice finds.  But as I did my thing all I found was clad.  I would like to hunt the ground next to the building but will have to seek permission.  I did find just over a buck and some canadian pennies.

SATURDAY HUNT AT OLD PLACES

I hit a school early in the morning where I've had luck with silver and wheat pennies.  Today nothing and I had to quit because of the thunder then the rain.   After the rain I went to a park where I've had similar luck and again nothing - I was lucky to find coins.  So I will give it another try today - hopefully a new area.

RAIN

A few storms passed through last night bringing some much needed rain - let's hope it was enough but I don't think it did much of anything.  More rain is forecast for Thursday hopefully an all day rain to soak in the ground.  And the temps won't be as hot so that will be a plus too.

STAYED IN

For the first time I didn't want to get out and hunt.  The ground is just dry, hard and my detector will only go a  few inches down.  We need rain and need it badly.  It's no fun digging and the ground is like powder once you break the surface.  I'm praying for rain the week - let's hope it does.

SATURDAY HUNT YIELDS WHEAT PENNIES

I went for a ride Saturday morning to a place a friend showed me - a lot that used to be a school.  He has had luck finding silver there this was my second attempted - got skunked the first time.  Had some better luck finding 2 wheat pennies and some clad.  The ground is very dry and digging is down right terrible.  My targets weren't very deep - can't wait to get some rain and try it again.

VERY SLOW WEEKEND

Saturday morning I tried the beach before the heat arrived - not much in the sand - only some pennies and dimes.  Haven't had much luck here but the ground is rock hard and the sand is easier to dig.  We did get some rain Sunday morning and I decided to hunt a local school in the afternoon.  The rain did nothing for the ground - managed only 3 pennies but one was a wheat.   All the hits were shallow about a couple of inches down.   Will post pics of the finds later - We could use days of steady rain to soften the ground but it's back to the 90's tomorrow.

SUNDAY HUNT IN THE WOODS

I was feeling tired after a long day and night Saturday and finally got some energy and hit a wooded area close to home.  I did manage wheat penny #53 and some clad - not much else.  The ground is really hard and very dry - need some rain to make detecting easy again.
